The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has urged motorists to use alternative routes after announcing partial closure of the busy Jogoo Road in Nairobi. – By Gerald Gekara.
The traffic disruption will allow the contractor working on the Likoni Road dualling project to install a box culvert at the Jogoo Road/ Likoni Road Roundabout (opposite St Stephen’s Church).
The road that falls under the mandate of KURA, was awarded a Sh900 million contract.
The project is financed by the Road Maintenance Levy Fund which motorists contribute while purchasing fuel.
Kura contracted Cementers Limited to dual the 1.7km section on Likoni Road, which will complete the dual road from Enterprise Road and the Southern Bypass.
The road will also incorporate a pedestrian walkway and cyclist path as well as an expansion of the bridge near Jogoo Road with a railway underpass.
